Gourmet jelly beans make
a sweet splash at weddings
Wedding planner to Hollywood’s biggest
stars, Mindy Weiss used 10 flavors of Jelly Belly beans to create
a candy shop at the wedding of "Bachelorette" stars Trista
and Ryan. Guests were invited to scoop their own selection of pink-hued
flavors from a gorgeous reception table filled with huge bowls of
pink grapefruit, cotton candy, raspberry and strawberry daiquiri
jellybeans.
Available in a rainbow-bright palette of colors,
including the hot citrus colors of the tropics – all the rage
in the bridal world this season, the sweet treats are putting a
new twist on the traditional wedding bonbonnieres. Brides-to-be
are filling satin bags with jewel-toned jelly beans to give away
as favors. The colorful candies are making a splash at bridal showers,
too. According to the Jelly Belly Candy Company, its new trio of
mint flavors is proving to be quite popular with the ladies.
The company's Web site, JellyBelly.com, even
offers a clever “candy calculator” to help brides figure
out how many jellybeans they will need based on the number of guests
and the size of the wedding favors.
